Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady", was a towering figure in British 20th century politics, a grocer's daughter with a steely resolve who was loved and loathed in equal measure as she crushed the unions and privatised vast swathes of industry.
She died on Monday, aged 87, after suffering a stroke. During her life in politics Some worshipped her as a moderniser who transformed the country, others bitterly accused her of entrenching the divide between the rich and the poor. The abiding images of her premiership will remain those of conflict: huge police confrontations with the miners' union, her riding a tank in a white headscarf, and flames rising above Trafalgar Square in the riots over an unpopular local tax which ultimately led to her downfall. To those who opposed her she was blunt to a degree - "the lady's not for turning", she once famously informed members of her own Conservative Party who were urging her to moderate her policies. Others who crossed her path, particularly … [Read more...] about Iron Lady Thatcher changed face of Britain

The '"collapse without war'" of the Soviet Union - one of the strongest military powers - makes quite a few nations feel that military force is no more significant as in a world there is no ideological confrontation between the two international political systems. However, continued wars, conflicts and increasingly fierce political and geo-economic contradictions after the dissolution of the Soviet Union have caused nations to return to traditional thinking that war with armed force is still the succession of politics. Hence a trend of military modernization in recent years.

Could you tell us the significance of this visit and how you see the strategic partnership developing?
